Some North American universities require students to take and pass the language test (usually TOEFL, IELTS or Duolingo). The required minimum scores can be found in the description of each university in the Mobility-Online portal. Applicants should register for the test <strong>after</strong> they are selected to exchange studies by Tampere University and only after you have received more information from the International Mobility Services. This means that you do not have to register for the language test in the first step of applying for exchange at Tampere University. You can find more instructions about the language tests on the <a href="https://www.tuni.fi/en/students-guide/handbook/uni/internationalisation-during-studies/instructions-outgoing-students/student-exchange">Before student exchange</a> website and in the destination description in the Mobility-Online portal (these are in Finnish, but please use translation services).

North America

<p>You may seek an exchange period in Latin America within the universities or colleges that have a bilateral agreement with Tampere University. In addition to these options, some faculties may also have their own bilateral exchange destinations in Latin America. The exchange destions are in Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Mexico.</p>

<p>In the exchange destinations of Latin America and Mexico, the language of instruction is mainly Spanish, and in Brazil the language of instruction is usually Portuguese. English is usually not widely used outside of the university either. Should you seek an exchange in a Spanish speaking country, it is necessary that you know Spanish even if the language of instruction is English. When applying for an exchange in Brazil, you do not have to know Portuguese during the application process. However, in this case you are expected to know either Spanish, French or Italian. If you speak one of these languages and study Portuguese before departing for your exchange, you should be able to attain an adequate level of Portuguese for your studies in the exchange destination at the latest.</p>

<p>Besides student exchange programmes and the bilateral agreements signed by Tampere University, students have the option to apply as an exchange student to a foreign non-partner university on an independent basis. If you are working towards a bachelor’s degree or a master’s degree and plan to go on exchange to a foreign university with which Tampere University has not signed a student exchange agreement, you can go abroad as a freemover or a visiting student. Freemover/visiting student status means that you will be responsible for paying your host university’s possible tuition fee. Tampere University does not have a scholarship programme for students who go on exchange to a non-partner university.</p><p>Students apply as exchange students to a non-partner university independently by following the prospective host university’s instructions and schedule. With questions, please contact the host university directly.</p><p>Before going on exchange to a non-partner university, remember to have your informal study plan approved <a href="https://www.tuni.fi/en/students-guide/handbook/uni/services-and-regulations-students/services-and-forms/guidance-and-counselling-services-faculties-contact-information">by your faculty</a> at Tampere University to make sure that the courses you are planning to complete in the foreign university can be <a href="https://www.tuni.fi/en/students-guide/handbook/uni/planning-studies-and-study-guidance/study-guidance-and-psp/recognition-prior-learning">counted towards</a> your Tampere University degree. If you intend to apply for student financial aid for your study abroad period, you will need a statement from your faculty to confirm that the courses will be counted towards your degree.</p>
